To this end, I offer this guide of programming which presents a spectrum of things you just don't usually get to hear on the conventional media. Every attempt is made to keep the listing current and accurate. Your contributions are welcome, and will be considered for future editions All Programming Unscrambled. SCPC audio requires special receiving equipment. VIDEO OFFERINGS All Times Eastern TOTYWEN (The Only Time Zone You Will Ever Need) G6/19 24 Hours/daily - The University Network -Doctor (eu)Gene Scott (SEE: GENE.GIF) The old man of the sky. Once the beacon by which EVERYONE tuned their dish, the "Doc" has been on the birds for over 10 years. People keep asking: "Who is this guy, is he for real". You can not fully appreciate Doc Scott until you have been watching him for several months. BEST time to watch is Saturday night overnight to Sunday Morning. Roll tape. Topics include UFO'S, Pyramids, Bermuda Triangle, and his unique brand of Christianity. Along the way he will pitch a fit or two, and demand your money. Doc is an acquired taste. I am proud to say that I have Kings Dish License #495, and have been watching him since the first day he hit the birds, BEFORE WESTAR 5, when he rented time from Mother Angelica! He has changed a LOT over the years, but he still runs some of the old tapes, so check him out. He will grow on you. G3/11 Sunday 1:00AM-1:30AM - Now Take My Hand -Sister Spring ALL NEW PROGRAMS! (SEE: SPRING.GIF) "It is windy in outer space. I know. I've been there" "I died to bring you these truths". Sister Spring is perhaps the most unusual of all the religious programs on the air today. "She who is speaking to you is wearing the efrote of the priesthood of Melchizedek, here to call out the whosoever will" Her viewers are called "Runners", and she has a teddy bear named Pudding Time that she talks to. Her eyes glow while she tells you about Vultures we have not yet seen, and once she revealed how she cursed her plumber and he died. You won't believe some of the things she says, but keep tuning in - You just MIGHT! F2/13 24 Hours/daily - The Outdoor Channel (SEE: BUZZARD.GIF) Not what you think from the name. This channel has some right wing politics, from the late "Buzzard", a gold prospector who began on satellite as a weekend only offering. His untimely death in late 1993 has not stopped the programming, as the channel is now run by his two sons. Of course, Buzzard has many years of tapes on the shelf, so his philosophy (Pro American right wing constitutionalist) lives on. Also seen on the Outdoor channel, the SHOOTIN' SHOW (Guns Guns and more guns) as well as some corny old westerns. Recently the Outdoor channel moved from its previous location of F2/03. G3/11 Saturday 4:00AM HEARTBEAT - Jack Rehburg A two hour show featuring old fashioned preaching and phone calls. Some of the callers are in desperate straights at the end of their rope. Some of the callers are skeptics, and a few are downright abusive. They pray for them all, and give them what for direct from the bible. A real One on One show. Sometimes boring, sometimes fascinating. G4/15 Monday thru Friday 11:30PM, 4:00AM FOR THE PEOPLE TV S3/24 Monday Thru Friday 1:00AM (SEE: HARDER.GIF) The half hour TV version of the Chuck Harder FOR THE PEOPLE Show (See audio listings below). Basically a radio show on TV, complete with big RE-20 Microphones on Boom Stands. Chuck interviews Authors of alternative view books, and activists. Fans of the FTP radio show will enjoy seeing the program which comes from the FTP Radio studio. Chuck is not the slick TV personality type, wearing working man shirts, and leaning back in his studio chair. G4/06 24 Hours a Day SHEPARD'S CHAPEL NETWORK Pastor Arnold Murray. (SEE: MURRAY.GIF) Pastor Murray seems to have taken Gene Scott's place lately as the beacon of the sky to tune your dish by. In addition to straightforward Bible Preaching, pastor Murray also does shows about Anglo Saxon Heritage, including Ogam Writings, which indicate that people who could write ancient Hebrew were HERE in the USA in ancient times. Also some good Constitutionalist programs, and one on non-traditional health and nutrition. G4/13 Monday thru Friday MIDNIGHT - BOB ENYART LIVE G6/14 4:00AM Monday thru Friday (Repeat) (SEE: ENYART.GIF) The Nation's self proclaimed Right Wing Radical, Homophobic, Anti-choice talk show host. Bob is just not tollerant. His callers do take him to task. SO far he has not budged. In fact, he has been known to turn some of them around to HIS way of thinking. Do you DARE to watch? He used to be on the Omega Radio Network, but now originates from KWHD in Denver. G4/13 is the backhaul. Also seen on G4/15 at the same time, but the audio on 13 is much better. And on the backhaul you see his local commercials. Check Bob out. You will love him or hate him, depending on your own leanings. C1/11 24 Hours/Daily N1 Network One Call 1-900-HOT-DATE.... Bikini Contests, heavily edited sex frolic flicks, cut down to the PG level. Not just content to run the 900 ads, they actually shrink the feature films down so they can put those phone numbers at the top and bottom of the screen. Again designed for the adolescent libido, this one is perhaps the most boring thing on satellite. Listed here only because it is different from the norm. G4/11 Sunday 9:30PM ANOTHER VOICE OF FREEDOM -Ernst Zundel (See: ZUNDEL.GIF) Everyone's favorite Holocaust Revisionist is back. After having his home set fire this year, and after being kicked of Keystone and other various satellite networks, Zundel pops up with a more or less anonymous uplink. Buying raw Occasional Video Time, on a Hughes Bird yet ($1000 per hour). Did six million really die? Ernie said no in a book he wrote, and wound up many years in court. G7/06 Thursday-8:00PM (Repeated the following Tuesday-7:00PM) GOP-TV RISING TIDE I did not include this in the original listing, figuring it was too "normal", however a Canadian reader told me that he considers the American Republican Party to be like something from another galaxy, so I include it here. This weekly show is one that obviously totes the "party line". Viewed at party meetings nationwide, and hosted by the head of the Republican Party, this live weekly Newsmagazine/Interview show does have its moments, though I personally find it rather boring. S3/02 Monday Morning-1:00AM Nebraska-ETV ALIVE TV S3/04 Weird Independent Films. Some are very short, some a bit longer, Artistic, Metaphoric, and Bizzare. The kind of thing we used to Get on PBS/D, and occasionally on DEEP DISH. G4/20 Saturday 11:00AM BEAKMAN'S WORLD Kids Science Show, but hip adults find it hillarious. Loaded with wild sound effects, weird camera angles, and legitimate science. Stars Beakman, His sidekicks are a guy in a rat suit and a cute brunette. Bad Puns make it seem like a chemical experiment with sulphur. Check this one out! E2/10 Sunday 3:00PM BIOGRAPH DAYS/BIOGRAPH NIGHTS (SEE: IRA.GIF) In the days before Satellite dishes, videotape, and Cable, there was TV. It was Live. It was Black and White. You can relive those days with Ira Galen's BD/BN. Old Kinnescope films of national and local TV shows, along with vintage TV commercials make this a fascinating program. Ira's talk segments from his home studio include a rather cluttered set filled with old 1950's toys and memorabilia. Fun for the Baby Boomer, or anyone interested in the history of Early TV. It might become a weekly habit! G4/12 Saturday 11:30AM Prophesy Countdown Television Network (SEE OSBORNE.GIF) Pastor John Osborne, Rolling Hills HISTORIC Seventh Day Adventist Church, Eustis, Florida is the preacher. If your Church is on Sunday, you will MISS the heavenly boat. They call themselves HISTORIC Adventists because they believe in the original teachings of the pioneers who started the denomination back in the 1850's. This bunch is not at all affiliated with the General Conference of SDA's, and they don't want to be. John says his TV show was KICKED off the Trinity Broadcasting Network for saying that the wicked do not burn in hell forever (He believes they are snuffed out and burned up). Other SDA teachings are quite different than conventional Churchianity, and John is quite the fire and brimstone Preacher. This show is a WELDON BELL favorite! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! O J T V - O J T V !! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! G*STAR 1 / 05 (Drake #19) Court Room ONLY Channel G*STAR 4 / 05 (Drake #19) Court TV Backhaul Channel C3/06 Court TV Main Feed (Digitizing This Fall) T1/14 (Morning Session) The EVIDENCE CHANNEL T1/17 (Afternoon Session) The EVIDENCE CHANNEL G5/05 6.3 AUDIO OJ RADIO TRIAL COVERAGE (SEE: OJTV.GIF, Which shows what MY On-screen display looks like, using the MX-1 and AMIGA and TWO SATELLITE SYSTEMS to create my own OJTV CHANNEL!) 12:00 NOON to 8PM MONDAY THRU FRIDAY The show so wild and wacky it takes TWO dishes to watch it right. Yes folks, we are talking about the SIMPSON TRIAL. Never in the history of the U.S. Legal System has there been so much interest in a case. While CNN and the others fill the sidebars up with commercials, the REAL DISHHEAD listens in on the gossip between Greg Jarret, Kristen J. Meyer, and the rest of the COURT TV reporters who are pretty uninhibited when the network cuts away from them. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO WATCH THE TRIAL. If you are a purist, then The COURTROOM ONLY FEED will give you the case, MINUS all commentary. (You'll just see the GREAT SEAL of the State of California during non trial periods) THE EVIDENCE CHANNEL is just that. No audio, no commentary, JUST THE FACTS, MAM. See the ELMO Shots, The VIDEO TAPES, and the EVIDENCE PHOTOS. When there is no evidence, watch the cute ASTERISK in the lower left. If you have PIP, put the EVIDENCE channel there, or set two monitors side by side. Back in the FUN of the Trial of the Century. Learn when the key witnesses will speak so you can call in sick! If you don't have two dishes, you are missing out. So get your second dish now (Write me for the scrounger's guide if necessary) S2/02 and Intelsat 705/01 3:00-5:00PM Saturday SABADO DEL CORPORAN There is NOTHING like a big Spanish Language Variety Show. I have always loved these high energy extravaganzas. While UNIVISION Scrambled taking away their entertainment shows, SUR actually UNSCRAMBLED, and has remained in the clear for well over a year now and bears watching for the nifty variety shows. Sabado Del Corporan comes from the Dominican Republic, and has all the things that make these shows so much fun to watch: Great Latin Bands, Beautiful Dancing Girls, Wacky Contests, and enthusiastic audiences. This is a fun place to park the dish on Saturday Afternoon. SUR can be a real trip very often, so always make it a point to start out here when skyscanning! 1AM-2AM G4-12 Tues-Sat You and Me Pastor Richard Dortch Remember the PTL club, and Jim Baker who WAS languishing in prison, while Tammy froliced with her new boyfriend? Well Brother Dortch was also part of that ministry, and he also spent some time in prison. Now fully disabled, with cancer and a few other ailments, Brother Dortch takes calls from those who are absolutely desperate and miserable. He claims he does not get paid for doing the show. He wants to hug everyone. G3/11 Mon-Wed 10-11PM "Jesus Christ is a Miracle Working God" Miracle Crusade Hour - Rev. Billy Locklear (SEE REVBILLY.GIF) Rev. Billy is an acquired taste, like so many of the howling preachers. Weldon Bell discovered him one night and called me and made me watch. Rev. Billy is one of those Crying and energetic Southern Preachers. He anoints your mail with oil and puts his prayer cloth on. His speech patterns are breathless and his teeth don't fit right, causing him to need to wipe his mouth a lot with a hanky. He likes getting your "Prair Requesses" and only needs $4,000 to stay on the air. "Momma, if you want me to stay on the air, sakafice a hunnerd dollas". His recitations are something else. He sings too! This guy is WILD! G6-01 Thursday 10-11PM THE SHOOTIN' SHOW Replay T2-12 Sunday 6-7PM and Tuesday 4-5PM Save our Guns. The only kind of gun control is the ability to hit your target. Join our club and get the "Bullet Express". Gun Training, Demos of old and new guns. Definitely NOT a show you will see on CBS. This is the main feed, also seen on a delay basis on the Outdoor Channel. G3/11 Sunday 4-5PM Come Alive Evangelist Eugene Scott and Brother Larry Holmes These two guys are the "Tag Team" of religious broadcasting. The originate from North Carolina, not far from Billy Locklear. Eugene is no relation to Dr. Gene Scott and Brother Larry Holmes is Eugene's cousin. You can usually hear both of them at the same time because one will be preaching while the other is praying "in tongues out loud on the telephone. The only person not heard is the caller. Occasionally one will hang up the phone and the other will "tag" him to take over the preaching role. Brother Larry frequently talks about how he used to put thousands of dollars of cocaine into his veins for 5 and one-half years. End of Video Listings Audio Follows ----------------------------------------------------------- D I F F E R E N T S T R O K E S = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Unusual and Interesting Audio programs. Includes Subcarrier and SCPC audio. Eastern Time is the Norm C1/02 7.5W 24 Hours/Daily The People's Radio Network Chuck Harder's Network, with the For The People Show Monday thru Friday LIVE from 2PM to 5PM. Consumer activism with UFO's and Conspiracy Theories for good measure. Also heard on PRN are Patriotic Shows, and Jack Ellory who seems to be from another universe. G7/12 7.4W 24 Hours/Daily Independent Broadcasters Network IBN is the origination point of the Sunday Night Dr. Susan Block Sex Show (also at Midnight). Offers a full schedule of talk shows. The most notable show on IBN is "Timeless Voyager Radio" a one hour program dealing with things like UFO's, Mind expansion, and yes weird politics. Worth checking out. TIMELESS VOYAGER is 2AM Eastern Time on Monday Mornings. S3/09 6.8W Monday - Friday 10AM-12Noon Talk America Network America's Town Forum -Bo Grits (pronounced Grites, rhymes with whites) (See: GRITZ.GIF) Bo is your brother whether you like it or not. He took the show over from Tom Donnahue, who was convicted of financial fraud and jailed last year. Tom escaped, and has never been heard from again. Conspiracy buffs say Tom was "offed" by some dark powers. Bo is a superpatriot, former Green Beret, and someone you don't want to mess with. He has been featured on 20/20 and other news programs. He ran for president in a previous election. The situation in our country would be VERY different if BO had won. S3/09 5.8W 12Mid-0500AM Talk America Network The Stan Major Show Stan has been around forever with his 5 hour nightly talk show. Just recently he jumped to Talk America from the IBN Network. This is the only LIVE all night call-in show in the USA. All the rest run tapes in the very early morning hours, but not Stan. Sometimes boring sometimes weird, this one is worth checking out, and now that he is on Talk America, he is easy to tune in. C1/05 5.8W 2:00AM-7:00AM TRN (Talk Radio Network) The Art Bell Show (SEE: ARTBELL.GIF) Another show for the insomniac, Bell has a style all his own. He is political, and an info Junkie. Bell owns a TVRO system! He is a Ham and does his show from his home. During the last hour of his program, he stages debates between listeners with opposing views. Good company in the wee hours, and GREAT bumper music. G6/14 7.56 Monday - Friday 12Mid The Hour of the Time - William Cooper The Illuminatti. Black Helicopters. The secret societies are the enemy. Masonic handshake revealed. Jupiter will be ignited by a space probe, making us a binary star system. The Germans had a base on the moon in the 30's. Great Music too. Listener phone calls. Bill is the best of them all. Not to be missed. G6/14 7.56 Monday Thru Friday (Sunday-Thursday) 1:02AM-3:00AM Truth Radio -David Hinkson, The fun side of Conspiracy Theories. Imagine a home built studio in the Nevada Desert. Put three guys in it in the wee morning hours, give them 5 phone lines, a few dusty law books and a copy of the constitution. Dave is a Paralegal, who uses the 7th ammendment to shut down govermnent agencies. The show is light hearted and fun, laid back, and off the wall. Dave has also rediscovered the old miracle cure, Coloidal Silver. Other right wing shows tell you to collect silver. Dave tells you to DRINK it. No other show like this one. Check it out! C3/23 7.24N Sunday 12Mid UFO'S TONIGHT CABLE RADIO NETWORK - Don Ecker Two hours of spacey guests and call ins. Close encounters, Groom Lake Coverup, Area 51, Billy Meyer, Video Dave. Have you been abducted? Weird Guests. You may become a believer. C3/23 7.24N Saturday 1:00PM - 6:00PM CABLE RADIO NETWORK AMR Astrological/Metaphysical Radio - Farley Maloris What's Your Sign? This weekly five hour seminar delves into the minutae of astrology. Moon Signs, and aspects down to the fraction of a degree. Lots of New Age philosophy, AND as a bonus you get to hear Farley "come on" to all the female callers. Not only is it strange, but it is PAY RADIO. If you listen, you are supposed to "Subscribe". You can also get private readings if you are in the California area and willing to go to Farley's house, and get the personal touch. C1/05 5.8 Sunday 10PM - 1:00AM DREAMLAND Art Bell (See ART&WIFE.GIF) UFO's, Life After Death, Dire Future Predictions. Special guests who have been abducted. This is a MUST for the real Dish Head Audio Listener. You could get hooked on this one. G6/14 6.2 24 Hours a Day USA PATRIOT NETWORK KHNC-1360/Colorado Want MORE Right Wing shows? KHNC is the station where most of the staff carry guns, and when you knock on their office door they ask "Friend or Foe?". Home of Dr. Norm Resnick (5PM-7PM) Jewish Talk Show Host who the ADL tromped on in their "Armed and Dangerous" report. The locally produced shows are actually technically very well done, and will scare the pants off of you no matter what your political leaning. Also runs a lot of PEOPLE'S RADIO NETWORK programming when not airing local stuff. You just don't get this kind of radio on YOUR local dial! G5/06 6.4W 24 Hours/Daily THE OVERCOMER -Brother R. G. Stair The Last Day Prophet of God. Jesus Christ is Coming in YOUR Lifetime. Prepare to meet your God. THIS is the LAST Generation. Maranatha. Brother Stair lives in Walterboro S.C. in a simple trailer, with his wife and Children, and they have a farm where his faithful followers live and raise their own food. On the property is the Radio Room, from where he broadcasts to the world over shortwave and satellite. Good old fashioned Hellfire Preaching, phone calls special guests, and tapes revealing the various government and New World Order nastiness. Biochips will be implanted in your hand or forehead, so the Government will always be able to trace you, and you won't be able to do business without it since all money will be abolished. Is Brother Stair who he says he is? Listen for yourself! E1/02 7.64N Monday thru Friday 12 Midnight-6AM Praise in the Night -Steve Solomon A religious show with a difference. People in desperate straights call the show in tears. Instead of praying, Steve tells them to repeat: "Ha ha. Ho ho. Hee Hee." in short order they are "Laughing in the Spirit". Hysterically. He does not always do this laughing thing, but Weldon Bell caught it on a Friday Night/Saturday Morning, and it was hard to keep from laughing ourselves. At other times, the show is a call in and pray show (and quite normal) but if you catch the Laughing Show, it is a riot. E1/02 7.64W Monday thru Friday 4PM - 6PM Talkback - Bob Larson S3/03 6.20W (One hour only WROL) 5PM - 6PM International Broadcasters Network This is another religious show, but again, with a difference. Bob can be described as an angry young man. He is angry about Satanism, Witchcraft, and Homosexuality, which are all in the same category as far as Bob is concerned. His show is aimed at people in their Teens and early 20's. He will interview members of the Church of Satan, talk with Wicans and Warlocks, and has been known to talk live to Demon possessed kids, and war with the devils inside them. Many callers to his show have MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) because of Ritual Satanic child abuse. He also does Exorcisms LIVE on the air, complete with the screaming (Swearing gets bleeped out). Interesting listening, though his harangues for money may turn you off. S3/03 6.2W Monday Thru Friday 4:00 - 5:00PM T2/15 6.2W Monday Thru Friday 11:00AM -Roy Masters The Foundation of Human Understanding Roy is pretty weird. You can't call it exactly religious. He pushes his own brand of "Meditation" and mind control. He rambles and he takes phone calls. Roy has been on for years and years. He is sort of "New Agey" but that is not it either. Not a Christian, not an atheist. See if YOU can figure him out.... The T2/15 feed is LIVE, you can actually hear him count the show down to the affiliates. S3/09 6.2W Sunday 9:00PM BIKER BROADCASTING (Talk America Network) I don't wanna pickle. Just wanna ride my motor sickle. A radio show for BIKERS? You bet! If you have dreams of becoming a Hell's Angel, you will want to tune in to this one. Wearing helmet while listening is not mandatory, but strongly suggested. ASC-1/23 6.2(W) WORLD RADIO NETWORK G5/06 6.8(W) A 24 hour service featuring programs and news from various world International broadcasters. Nothing wacky, but it is a definite alternative to domestic pap. C3/07 5.40(W) BBC WORLD SERVICE The Beeb. What can I say, excellent news coverage, and some good alternative programming. Again, not wacky, but after a few days of listening to things listed above, it serves as good "decompression". UNUSUAL MUSIC OFFERINGS: E1\09(KU) 5.76L, 5.94R (N) CKUA, Edmonton PLAY IT AGAIN Saturday 1PM (1 Hour) Michael Dylan Davis plays music from the era 1920 to 1952. Along the way he hits a few novelties, some hot jazz, old scratchy cuts, and highlights of a particular year featuring some of the number one hits of that year. Not exactly Dr. Demento, but fun to put on for weekend house cleaning, especially if you get into weird old music. C3/23 7.24(N) Polka Connection 9PM-10PM Saturday. Polkas from Space on YUSA has been cancelled, but the oompah lives on over CRN. Nice three hour show. Loads of fun. S3/03 6.2(W) Irish Hit Parade 10:30 Saturday Morning for 7 hours or more! Jigs and Reels. The Clancy Boys and more. WROL BOSTON goes Irish all day Saturday. Every Saturday is St. Patty's Day! Ballads too. Great stuff! G2/SCPC Transponder 3 24 Hours/Daily 1390.449 Sun Radio Network on R-100 Radio Free America Tom Valentine 3PM-6PM (NEW TIME!) Monday-Friday Fractal Friday, Weird Science, Conspiracy, New world Order, Guests and Phone calls. Strange medicine, and vitamin cures. Note: If I missed one of your favorites, please write me for inclusion in the next edition of the Different Strokes List!
